Analysis of My angel

Tori Wiley 1992 (New Mexico)



May 13th.
I saw you the day before.

The screams and loud cries are something I’ll forever hear.
Right then I could feel your spirit near.

So far away before I could say good bye. Now looking up in the sky just to tell you hi.

I love you forever.

Started out being my dad
to now being my angel.
